Europe is estimated to account for a value share of 36.1% in the global snow making system market by the end of 2018 and is anticipated to retain its dominance throughout the forecast period. In this report, Persistence Market Research throws light on the drivers and restraints likely to impact the market during the forecast period.

In the present scenario, some of the major factors driving the global snow making system market include significant increase in tourism, extensive control of the site offered by snow-making systems, twisting of seasons due to drastic changes in climatic conditions, and low dependency on natural resources. Furthermore, majority of ski areas invest millions of dollars on the installation of snow-making systems. In addition, ski resorts have been proactively implementing systems to adapt to more erratic and frequent winters by enhancing their snow-making capacity by up to 60% over the past two decades.

Emerging markets include countries undergoing rapid economic growth & growing interest in skiing, owing to which they are expected to emerge as substantial markets. These countries play a crucial role as they create demand for snow-making systems and become target countries for the installation & supply of complete systems. Growth of the tourism industry in emerging countries such as China, Latin America, and South Africa is expected to fuel the global demand for snow-making systems during the forecast period.

However, the global snow-making system market is expected to face some challenges. High initial as well as maintenance cost is one of the prime reasons likely to restrain the growth of the snow making system market in the coming years. Moreover, the renting of snow factories in the Americas is another factor that is likely to hamper the demand for snow-making systems, and this is expected to have a negative impact on the revenue growth of the global snow making system market.

Segmentation Analysis

The snow making system market is segmented on the basis of system type, end use, and regions. On the basis of system type, the fan-based systems segment is anticipated to continue to dominate the market in terms of volume over the forecast period. However, in terms of value, the external mix segment is estimated to account for nearly 36.9% of the global snow making system market to reach US$ 32.0 Mn by the end of 2017.
